There are no bounds to what a community can do together. Better Together donors, volunteers, partners and supporters help families to overcome devastating crises and to rise up stronger than ever. On Tuesday, we honored those in the Naples community who have helped us lend a hand up to hundreds of families in Collier County and thousands beyond.
While all our supporters have a vital role in our success, we recognized the following with our annual special awards for going above and beyond:
- Doug Campbell Generosity Award: David and Susana Rogers
- Community Partner of the Year: The Shelter for Abused Women and Children
- Church Partner of the Year: Center Point Community Church of Naples
- Department of Children and Families Partner of the Year: Tacara Shivers
- Foundation of the Year: The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation
- Host Family of the Year: Sarah and Danny Porcelli
Thank you to our sponsors: Premiere Plus Realty, Chick-fil-A — Addie’s Corner, and LadyCakes Bakery.
